"The idea for this album was conceived in June of 2003 while on tour with Maynard Ferguson. Standing in front of a tour bus, on one of many nights on the road, Ed Sargent and I viewed this project as exciting and due. The idea was for me to write, record and produce my first solo album showcasing some of the many styles and instrumentations that I love. When the concept became a reality in August of 2003, I was blessed to record with many of my favorite musicians for three days at AAM Studios in Pittsburgh. In the months following, I was then privileged to work with the best production team I've ever known. It hasn't been easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. The best thing in life is to love what you do. This is what I do. I hope you dig it."

God bless...Reggie Watkins
